NBA Parlay Leg #1: Trae Young Over 28.5 Points (-129)
Point guard Trae Young is the last scorer standing for the Atlanta Hawks as power forward John Collins and shooting guard Dejounte Murray are both missing this game. Young scored 28 points last time against the Hornets, and Charlotte is one of the weaker defenses in the sport. With more shot attempts in the offense for Trae Young, he should be able to make a few more and begin to shoot better from beyond the arc. All in all, go with Trae Young to score at least 29 points in this game.
NBA Parlay Leg #2: Joel Embiid Over 10.5 Rebounds (+108)
Joel Embiid is going to be able to rebound very well throughout the game against the Golden State Warriors tonight and should be able to reach 11 total rebounds. The Warriors are without point guard Stephen Curry, who is a lockdown shooter and makes it more likely they will miss shots. Embiid is someone who can crash the glass, as he is averaging 10.3 rebounds in his last three games. Golden State does not have enough size to limit the amount of rebounds for Joel Embiid so take the over.
NBA Parlay Leg #3: Nikola Jokic Under 26.5 Points (-123)
It does not matter if power forward Anthony Davis and/or small forward LeBron James are going to be able to play in this game, this number feels a little too high. This is the third time that Jokic will be facing the Lakers' defense, and the is averaging 27 points per game and shooting 60.6 percent from the floor. Expecting him to continue shooting that well is a little difficult as Los Angeles seems to be waking up defensively a bit and should limit the amount of good looks that The Joker is able to have here.
